About me

I am a fully qualified Nutritional Therapist who analyses each client’s health concerns along with their diet and lifestyle routines to provide safe, well balanced, individualised programmes to suit each person’s unique health requirements which fit in with their daily lives.

My interest in how what we eat affects how we feel began very many years ago but at that time nutrition wasn’t recognised as a topic in its own right as it is today. I worked as a Beauty Therapist in the 1980s and in those days we often gave basic dietary advice to support skin health and general fitness etc. Since then it is fascinating to see how far we have developed, and great that we can now adapt scientific knowledge about food to assist people in overcoming difficulties and promote efficient functioning of the systems of the body which are all influenced by the foods we eat.

The world of nutrition is constantly evolving and I find this stimulating and exciting and keeping abreast of scientific research and developments continues to be challenging and fascinating. For example, being able to understand new findings and translate these into dietary recommendations that may be the key in helping someone to manage their symptoms from health concerns that have been impacting so negatively on their life for years only increases my enthusiasm.

Why use Nutritional Therapy?

Pressures of modern life are constantly impacting on our health and we are frequently bombarded by the media about what foods are good or bad for us, but we are all different and what suits one person may be completely wrong for another, so how do we decide what to eat to keep ourselves healthy and optimise our wellbeing? I will work with you to devise a unique programme designed to address your specific health needs to enhance your ability to adapt to pressures on a physical level as well as encouraging emotional well-being.

This is not about “going on a diet”, but embracing the positive benefits of some foods and combinations that are easy to prepare, taste great, and are specifically chosen to benefit you by addressing your particular health concerns.
